Triangulum

Triangulum is a €25 million Horizon 2020 project funded by The European Commission to demonstrate cutting-edge smart city technologies and roll them out across the world. The Triangulum consortium combines the expertise of 22 partners from six countries: Norway, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Germany, the Czech Republic and Spain.

The University of Manchester is part of the Manchester consortium (alongside Siemens, Clicks and Links and Manchester Metropolitan University) and is working with the cities of Eindhoven (Netherlands) and Stavanger (Norway) to demonstrate 'smart green growth' -reducing carbon emissions while boosting the economy.

Triangulum's overarching aim is to encourage stakeholders to be actively engage in the co-creation of smarter and more sustainable cities.

Our role

The University of Manchester has both a research and coordination role:

Coordinating teams in Eindhoven and Stavanger towards a joint assessment of the economic, environmental and social impacts of smart city technologies.

A multilevel framework for impact assessment and monitoring will be generated, with open source and interoperable data sharing platforms enabling cities to learn from each other, and develop transferable smart city management technologies and apps
